Hi Joerg,

It's a matter of consensus, I believe. Is it the general consensus that we
will *always* want unwind tables to exist? Code size is a clear reason to
not want unwind tables at all, but there might not be many more. If the
general consensus is that unwind tables are a must, and should only be
turned off in special cases, then we just keep emitting them and create (or
reuse) a flag to stop it. If not, language / flags decision (-fexception,
-g, profiling, etc) should turn them on. However, if every one agrees that,
no matter what, we *will* emit unwind tables, than the whole argument is
moot, and there is absolutely nothing to "fix" besides removing
-arm-disable-ehabi.

cheers,
